A motorcyclist in Britain survived a 40-foot plunge down a cliff when he drove off the road.
And it was all caught on video from a GoPro camera on his helmet.
Jack Sanderson, 21, was driving on a stretch of Cat and Fiddle road, which is known as Britain’s most dangerous road, according to The Telegraph.
The video Sanderson posted to YouTube shows him behind two other bikers, but 25 seconds into the video, he passes the first biker and then the second biker.
Sanderson speeds up after he passes the second biker and goes around a corner. He veers into the wrong lane and flies off the road as he swerves to miss a car.
The video captures him flying off his bike and tumbling down the hill. He picks himself up and climbs up the hill to where people helped him over the fence.
“I can’t believe I walked out of that, not even a broken bone,” Sanderson told the Mail Online. “When I went over the ridge I was like helicopter spinning. I thought, this is it. I’m a gonner.”
The Telegraph reported that Sanderson escaped with only a minor concussion and a cut on the hand.
